nope, Tim Tams. And when you go Tim Tams, you may as well go double coat.


:D

Thanks guys. The filler helped I think, see how it paints up next.

The Beast-
We used the dice tower for the first time in anger on Saturday, it worked an absolute treat! And no dice destroyed our terrain! :) we had two strategically placed on the board and made it easy to go to the nearest tower.

Yes distractions, sorry. :( the poor little tuskens awaiting fancy cloaks... When will they get finished?

Cheers
Matt.

Not yet. :D


Cloaks attached, and GS fur added, the banthas are finished though :D


The wall filler worked a treat on top of the sand, its left a fantastic surface texture, which has painted up nicely. I need to reden up the ground a little more and weather the mechanical bits, then add litter.

You've done the planter in 15mm then :)

Joking apart it's looking very good.

Those Bantha's look great. Wish I had found some back in the day. I'm afraid to find out how much they go for now. The buildings are all wonderful.

Looking great. So many ideas for this from old cardboard pulp packaging. Had to throw loads away in my recent house move and wanted to cry as I was doing so  :D

A box and a Styrofoam ball! ;)

Surprisingly I picked up these 3 a few months ago for roughly $5 each. 0_o
trollandtoad.com has alot of used/New WotC SW and Herocliks/trading cards. :)

Sadly there is none right now, but they may shortly.

I must admit I carefully studied my coffee tray on the weekend before throwing it out. I haven't been convinced by that packaging in the past but I think you're right, I may need to go dumpster diving near the local warehouses! :D that's the problem with moving house, there is no time to start a new build and you don't have space to pack it :(

YAY I finished things and have time to take a picture! :D

As I mentioned perviously the hard plastic Banthas were fantastic and held quite a lot of detail. Their bendy plastic riders were less... defined shall we say. They need to hit the gym. Without removing, or chopping off torsos I tried to hide their identical nature by adding cloaks, robes and fur. It was somewhat effective. Ordering extra tuskens with the plan of chopping and GSing would have been wiser in hindsight. One got the additional barrel length of a WGF rifle, turning it into a sniper rifle, for extra Pew Pew.





What started as a junk box, a biscuit pack, coke bottletops, capacitors, coat hanger, sand, and spakfiller has turned, IMHO, into a charming Mos Eisely building.





I finished basing the figures I had painted too (again the very very cheap WotC Bendy buggers), they couldn't help having a look around town.


Are these the droids your looking for?

Or these?



and finally everyones favourite fish face.

Cheers
Matt

Brilliant - except that I can't decide whether the Banthas or the buildings are my favourite. Very nice work on the old admiral too.

Absolutely awesome mate.
Will you be getting some of the fantasy flight banthas when they release them for the next imperial assault expansion?
Really impressed with the painting and terrains. The dice tower is such an awesome idea for a terrain piece!

p.s. I prefer the caramel tim tams
